A hash table is a very fast kind of lookup table, somewhat like an
alist in that it maps keys to corresponding values, but much faster.
-Hash tables have no read syntax, and print using hash notation.
-@xref{Hash Tables}, for functions that operate on hash tables.
+The printed representation of a hash table specifies its properties
+and contents, like this:
@example
(make-hash-table)
- @result{} #<hash-table 'eql nil 0/65 0x83af980>
+ @result{} #s(hash-table size 65 test eql rehash-size 1.5
+ rehash-threshold 0.8 data ())
@end example
+@noindent
